Still going Strom
« on: June 26, 2025, 23:53:27 »
Hello folks, a quick re-intro (I have lurked these pages before).

Location- Great Grimsby (honestly that’s it’s correct name)
Current bikes - 2013 Glee, V7 Guzzi, DT175MX, Simson S50B1

Bio - been riding motorsickles for over 45 years, commuting summer and winter for the majority of that, (though nowadays I no longer commute) and always ’choose’ to travel by bike whenever possible.
Enjoy trips to the Isle of Man and have Marshalled for the last decade or so, also like to pop into Europe with the missus on the pillion when able, and looking to do far more of that, currently planning a trip to Athens (when the summer heat is gone).
Have always found this forum a useful source of info, though sadly no longer from the Genius that was Grey Wolf, rest in peace fella 🐺

Look forward to chatting to others fortunate enough to own what is still, the most competent motorcycle on the planet.
Cheers, Mick

 :wb: Mick I too think that the V-Strom is one of the best all-round bikes on the planet. It'll be good to hear from you and your travels.  :thumb:
